menu items
There are many functions that can be accessed through the OWServer Plugin Menu.
Depending on the state of the plugin, either option will allow you to enable or disable the plugin.
The reload option will only be available if the plugin is running. Selecting this option will cause the plugin to restart. Previously saved settings will be retained.
This option will only be available if you have enabled debugging menus with the Manage Plugins... menu item. This feature will only work if you have a configured development environment that supports remote debugging. Chances are that you will not need to use this option.
This option will only be available if you have enabled debugging menus with the Manage Plugins... menu item. This feature will reload the plugin in an interactive Python Shell. Chances are that you will not need to use this option.
Selecting the "Configure" menu option will cause the plugin configuration dialog to open.

Selecting either of these two menu items will turn communication on or off for all OWServer devices at once. This is useful when trying to isolate problems. For example, making it easier to disable all and then re-enable one-by-one.
Use this function to initiate a sensor refresh cycle immediately. This is essentially equivalent to allowing the plugin to update on its own. Selecting this function will not affect the timing of the next scheduled data refresh cycle.
Use this function to send a one-time command to a 1-Wire device via the OWServer Sensor Command Framework (see Communicating Directly with a 1-Wire Device below.)
Use this function to test communication with your OWS. Select the server you want to test from the Server IP drop-down menu and click Execute. You can also choose to dump the XML to the log if you wish.
